Home, Garden and Farm Painting Shingle Roofs. writer in the Industrial iluuMy discusses the subject of painting thingle roots in thin wise : If it is an economi cal practice to paint any other part of an architectural structure, luos assured ly it is a eotuin-ndable practice to paint shingles. V.'e never could underhand why certain builders have persisted in advocating not to paint shingles, except we judge them to be influenced by mer. cenary motives. Every intelligent build er is aware of the fact, that Single and hiding when not painted, will wear out very much sooner than if they had been protected by a generous covering of paint. Hence, reasoning from a selfish policy, it is better not to paint shingle", because the paint will promote theirdur ability, and whatever promotes their durability tends to diminish the labors of the cratt, and thus curtails the reve nue of civil architects. The house in which the writer was bora was covered with sliaved pine shin gles in the year, 1S0...

Making Manure on the Farm. Every farm should furnish its own re-' sonrces for manure; for, although, near cities, (the wise fanner avails himself of whatever waste matter he can get tlat is convertible into manure), the crop there cultivated are generally ,f an er Lansting nature and fully aufficier.t to carry off the extra fertility so added. But only a coiuparatvely small number of farms ure situated near enough to cities so that their owner can avail themselves of thi source of increasing the crops, and, tlierefore,the great uum ber are obliged to fall back upon th re sources of the- farm itself. It is an English maxim that "a good farm is like a good joint of meat, that only requires boating with its own drip ping." Translated, it means that a good oil contains within itself all the re- sources of increased fertility. It is true the Jointjof meat must have been first made good, and so uiuxt the farm. Man must feed the animal to get the good Joint; nature originally fed the soil ...

The importance of a thorough t-vstem of drainage cannot be over estimated Its importance Is beeoi.-iuiir each year more fully appreciated by the farmers in this region of Ohio. In results there from we realize only the first fruits, and that to a limited extent. The benefits which must accrue from engineering and scientific kiil as applied to the opera tions of fanning, will hereafter be more apparent. Under the above caption we find the following judicious remarks from the pen of Mr. J. H. Klippart,- Esq., to which we invite the attention of our readers: "The chif object of drainage is to liberate the superfluous moisture in springy land, or such lands as have an Impervious strata near the surface of the soil the carrying away of the wa ter which accumulates on the surface, from rains, snows, or freshets, is a sec ondary object only of thorough drain age. When there are springs there is a continued tendency of the water to foree through t...
